    Thanks Matthew for everything again - so easy with you.
    Guess that must be 5 or is it 6 times you've saved me a few quid - EVERY PENNY COUNTS :)
    (or even quite a lot of dosh on a couple of occasions - and a couple of extras/add-ons that we couldn't access)

    Also thanks for the info regards the twilight check-in etc.
    Most helpful and something definitely worth considering this time.
    Short journey night before , less than an hour round trip.
    With just hand luggage on the day we could even forget using a taxi and get the EMA Skylink Bus
    Sadly being a weekday and needing to catch it before 09:30 we can't use our FREE bus pass Gold card :(

    C'est la vie
    Cheers mate

    Hi Im really sorry it looks like this deal has gone - I can see the week before 5/10 is £1751 inc the £100 off (my price £1719)
    but and 7/10 is £1902 - my price £1859 or 15/10 is just £6 more so my price £1865 - but the 12/10 is now £2187 as the free child place has gone - my price £2157 - see below 
    Or  how about 15/10 manchester - direct £1835 - me £1799 

    Sorry its a pain when these things go - you could gamble and hope the free child place comes back ina  day or two but its rare

    Hi Broomy
    We have messaged each other and you told me the price you have includes the select your seat and Flex - that's £1536 on the TUI website so you've got £70 off already - Great deal - your partners discount is great
    I therefore can't do any better on  this one - Have a great time
